DESIGN & HISTORIC PRESERVATION
Where design review is required for new signs (refer to the design review thresholds in the Zoning Code), the Sign Design Guidelines apply.
Beginning January 1, 2010, a new preliminary consultation phase of design review will be established for applications for design review involving construction of new buildings or major alterations to existing buildings. This process will allow building designers to obtain comments from city staff and, in some cases, the Design Commission, on their preliminary design concept prior to preparing formal design drawings.
Also beginning January 1, 2010, applications for design review that require Design Commission review will need to include a 3D digital model of the proposed new building. A list of acceptable file formats will be posted to this website in the near future.
Application forms and submittal requirements for all phases of design review can be found here.
The map below reflects the areas of the city that are subject to design review.

The design guidelines for the North Lake, East Pasadena and West Gateway Specific Plan areas are not currently available electronically, but hard copies may be obtained from the Permit Center.
